User manual GIGABYTE GA-6BXE

[. . . ] System power on by PS/2 Mouse: First, enable this function in CMOS Setup, then you can power on the system by double clicking the right or left button of your PS/2 Mouse. System power on by Keyboard: If your ATX power supply supports larger than 300 mA 5V Stand-By current (dependent on the specification of keyboards), you can power on your system by entering password from the keyboard after setting the ¡§Keyboard power on ¡¨ password in CMOS Setup. (Include internal Modem and external modem on COM A and COM B) Wake-Up on LAN. (on JP7) (The ATX power supply supports larger than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current) CPU Over Voltage Protect 2. 3. [. . . ] 3. 5 inch double-sided drive; 2. 88M byte capacity. 4-5 6BXE · Floppy 3 Mode Support (for Japan Area) Disabled Drive A Drive B Both Normal Floppy Drive. Drive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives. · Video The category detects the type of adapter used for the primary system monitor that must match your video display card and monitor. Although secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to select the type in setup. EGA/VGA CGA 40 CGA 80 MONO Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array. For EGA, VGA, SVGA, or PGA monitor adapters Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode Monochrome adapter, monochrome adapters includes high resolution · Halt on The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. NO Errors All Errors All, But Keyboard All, But Diskette All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped and you will be prompted The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or 4-6 BIOS Configuration disk error; it will stop for all other errors · Memory The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map. Expanded Memory Expanded Memory in memory defined by the Lotus /Intel/ Microsoft (LIM) standard as EMS. Many standard DOS applications can not utilize memory above 640 K; the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) swaps memory, which not utilized by DOS with a section, or frame, so these applications, can access all of the system memory. Memory can be swapped by EMS is usually 64 K within 1 MB or memory above 1 MB, depends on the chipset design. Expanded memory device driver is required to use memory as Expanded Memory. Other Memory This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different 4-7 6BXE applications. DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM. 4-8 BIOS Configuration 4. 6. BIOS FEATURES SETUP Figure 4. 3: BIOS Features Setup *System will detect automatically and show up when you install the Pentium III processor. · Virus Warning If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive. The system will halt and the warning message will appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem. Enabled Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table Disabled No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table 4-9 6BXE · CPU Internal Cache / External Cache These two categories speed up memory access. [. . . ] To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A message "PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear to confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. If you select System at Security Option in BIOS Features Setup Menu, you will be prompted for the password every time the system is rebooted or any time you try to enter Setup Menu. [. . . ]
